Welcome / open talk

Since the start of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, how many of us have begun to use Zoom or other "meeting" software?

If so, for business or pleasure?

Computer, tablet, smartphone?

Have you hosted a meeting or just participated?

Do you use your camera for live video or substitute a static image or just your name?

If using a webcam, do you use a custom background, static or live?

As posted above, I am wondering if anybody here is using T-Mobile for their home internet. I have always been concerned that if I did that, T-Mobile would throttle me after so much data was used. However, I was reading a post earlier that said they don't throttle it.

hello, I'm hoping that I can hook up a GPS that can use a Bluetooth headset for talking to the GPS or make a call through it with my phone. I see that the Drive Smart line (I have 3 Nuvi's) allows making calls but I haven't seen that a headset can be used.
Any good advise?

I just noticed that Google Earth was updated on my laptop today at about 5 p.m. EDT. No heads-up, just got downloaded. The new version is 7.3.3.7699 (I don't know what the old version was). With absolutely no scientific research on my part, my only observation is that it seems quicker. From double click on its icon, it's up and ready in three seconds.

This week we're recognizing, Jerw39!

Jerw39 has been a member of POI Factory for over 12 years, although he's just recently returned to the fold.
We're recognizing him this week for a recent file he submitted for
US Car Museums
Jonathan noticed the file and thought it was a fun addition.

Thanks for your contribution, Jerw39!

Now that will be using my Garmin Nuvi 500 on my GPS, it is time to look around for some suitable maps to download. Certainly, I can Google it and get lots of information, but I am looking for some guidance from my fellow members here.

I am most interested in ATV/OHV trail maps. Garmin City Navigator is great for highways, roads and streets, but most ATV/OHV trails don't show up on CN.

This is the place to talk about things that are not GPS related.

This thread will be closed on Monday and a new one will be opened.

This is in another thread I created, but I thought some may have missed the posting:

I used MS Word to create a PDF file of the lengthy instructions and Jonathan figured out to create a download link to the file.

You can now click on the link at the top of the page and once the PDF appears, right click on the page and select "Print" in the dropdown. Or you can do a "Save as".

This week we're recognizing, Charlesd45!

Charlesd45 has been a member of POI Factory for nearly 13 years.

Ken in Regina recommended Charlesd45 be the COW this week for an FAQ he maintains and since it's been nearly 8 mos since he was last in the pasture, I took Ken in Regina's suggestion.

Thanks for all of your contributions, Charlesd45!

This isn't really about a contributor of the week, actually. It's contribution in general. First I would like to acknowledge the POI Factory and it's contributors just for being here, for being who you are, and for sharing. Whether it's a little or a lot it all helps someone out.

Two different outcomes.

Scenario 1, I know that the prime rate dropped in March, significantly. I do not have a mortgage on our house, but I have a variable rate heloc. So it was April 28, and I see my rate is still 4% (prime minus 0.75% is the rate). It should be 2.5%, as the last change was 3/18.
